Tim Cook: Apple to Build Macs in Texas

Apple's executives, including CEO Tim Cook, recently swooped in on Capitol Hill for a Senate subcommittee hearing related to its corporate tax practices. We've covered many of the events in detail already, but Cook revealed one compelling tidbit of information during his speech: where Apple plans to build its Mac computers in the U.S.

Cook said that manufacturing will occur in Texas, where Foxconn has factories. 9to5Mac said the location choice is a bit odd, however, because Quanta was originally assumed to be Apple's U.S.-based manufacturing partner. Quanta, has plants in Tennessee and in California, though, and not in Texas.
